As the sun sets in Melbourne, the beautiful city metamorphoses into a pulsating
party zone with the excitement meter peaking as the seconds proceed. The Bars
and Pubs in Melbourne are far better than those in Sydney. Catch the best of pubs
in Melbourne on Friday and Saturday nights, when most pubs, both the trendy and
the down-to-earth variety are packed with revelers and casual drinkers.
There are several Bars and Pubs in Melbourne that serve food too at lunchtime
and are pretty popular with the local populace. To say that English-style pubs
have traditionally been the substratum of Melbourne's entertainment scene will
not be completely wrong and the city is still ruled by a multitude of those.
In fact, it is easy to spot one in every area ranging from the grungy Punter's
Club to more classy venues catering to chic crowds.
For that nostalgic old world charm, patrons often gather at the three traditional
watering holes-Old Colonial Inn or the quirky Builder's Arms-and Melbourne institutions
such as The Esplanade. These usually open in the afternoon and operate until
around midnight or later, depending on the business. Many of these joints serve
food as well as provide beer gardens, satellite television, pool tables or live
music.
Recently, a myriad of jazzy, intimate bars have mushroomed in the lanes and
alleyways of the central business district and have carved a niche for themselves
in the trendy nightlife scene. A bulk of the crowd that flocks here are eager,
after-work drinkers who continue their indulgence until late. Spleen on Bourke
Street is definitely worth a visit or better still find one of your own favorite
bars or pubs on an overnight tour of the city and relax in the chilled out ambience.
